recently 2nd behind Willing Foe in the Betfred Ebor Handicap at York back in August pulls the upset and wins the G1 Irish St. Leger for tranier Thomas Carmody and owner Andrew Tinkler. None of the projected major players for this race ever really figured, save Brown Panther's 3rd place finish. The John Gosden trained Aiken finished 4th, Ascot hero was 5th. Another very disappointing effort from Fame and Glory in this race finishing 6th, and the recent Curragh Cup winner, Hartani could only manage to finish 8th of 9 with the Aga Khan having flown in Christophe Lemaire to take the mount after the recent firing of Johnny Murtagh from riding anymore of their horses trained in Ireland.
